I perceived the result as suboptimal and it called for more questions. I feel we need to call it a day and move on.

Nope, when you are not using pdflatex, you use fontspec to control the main fonts. "As a bonus feature", you get the font fallback mechanism you may need or not.... i.e. _even_ if the document uses the 7-bit ASCII character set to produce an American English document. Once again: fontspec implements font management _only_. babel and polyglossia implement localisation (and call fontspec internally (ie. silently, automatically) to manage fonts. babel is "intelligent" enough to determine what the LaTeX compiler in use offers and get the best out of it. <sigh/> > -- > Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, > Org mode maintainer, > Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>. > Support Org development at <https://liberapay.com/org-mode>, > or support my work at <https://liberapay.com/yantar92> -- Fragen sind nicht da, um beantwortet zu werden, Fragen sind da um gestellt zu werden Georg Kreisler Sagen's Paradeiser, write BE!
